Research Report 34 is a revision of Research
Report 29 prepared by the Division of Research
of Florida State Department of Education.

The preparation of these reports is one phase in
the implementation of Florida's plan for improv-
ing statistical services of the State Department
of Education under the provisions of Title X,
National Defense Education Act.

ANALYSIS OF MEMBERSHIP AT THE CLOSE


OF EACH MONTH OF SCHOOL 1963-64


The data included in this report are compiled from Item 30, "Membership
at Close of Each Month of School," Principal's Annual Report on Attendance,
Form At-14p, submitted to the State Department of Education at the close of
the 1963-64 school year. Data pertaining to adult and vocational schools
with classes extending beyond the regular school year are excluded from the
tabulations in this report. The University School in Leon County is ex-
cluded for the same reason.

This is the seventh year for which the Research Division has made a
complete tabulation of monthly membership figures. Data for 1956-57 are
based on incomplete reports. Research Report 34 is a statistical study
prepared in an effort to establish long range growth patterns of value for
educational planning purposes.

Table 1 shows, for an eight year period, a comparison of the change
in membership at the close of each month of school from the membership at
the close of the first month. Table 2 gives the comparable percent of
change.

Table 3 gives the change in membership at the close of each month from
membership at the close of the first month for each county for the 1963-64
school year. This membership change is given by grade group 1-6, 7-9,
10-12, as well as for the county as a whole. The numbers shown in this
table for each month should be related back to the membership shown for the
first month.

PEAK MONTH

Traditionally, the membership pattern in Florida schools has been
thought of as a horse-shoe shaped curve, rising sharply during the winter
months and then dropping back toward the end of school. As shown below,
there has been a tendency for the peak membership period to level out, or
more nearly approach the beginning membership. Of course, some counties
still experience peak months that are substantially above the beginning
and ending months. A study of Table 3 will emphasize the different member-
ship patterns.

1956-57 26,496 3.70%
1957-58 24,007 3.04

1961-62 14,991 1.46
1962-63 7,260 .67
1963-64 9,922 .87


The fourth month has been the peak membership month in each of the
last two years. Prior to 1962-63, the fifth month has been the peak month
for the state as a whole. There is considerable variation among the counties
as to the month in which maximum membership is reached. This variation is
shown below. The number in parenthesis indicates the peak month for the
previous year. For example, Alachua County reached its peak membership in
the second month of 1963-64 and in the third month of 1962-63.

MEMBERSHIP CHANGE


Forty-five counties showed a loss in total net membership between the
end of the first month and the close of school in 1963-64. At the elementary
level, twenty-seven counties showed a net loss. Eight counties (Brevard,
Collier, Glades, Highlands, Lafayette, Palm Beach, Sumter, and Washington)
showed some net increase during the year at the junior high level. Only two
counties, Glades and Hendry, had a net increase at the senior high level,
and the combined increase amounted to but nine pupils.

As shown above, the net membership loss during the year for the state
as a whole was 8,930 pupils. This net is a little misleading inasmuch as
part of the junior-senior high school loss was offset by a gain in grades
1-6. Between the first month of school and the close of school:

Grades 1-6 gained 5,262 pupils (.82 percent)
Grades 7-9 lost 4,265 pupils (-1.53 percent)
Grades 10-12 lost 9,927 pupils (-4.64 percent)
Grades 1-12 lost 8,930 pupils (-.79 percent)

LAST MONTH OF SCHOOL

The greatest net change in membership comes during the last month of
school each year--between the end of the eighth month and the close of the
school year.

The exact cause of this ninth month drop has not been identified positively.
In tourist counties one explanation is that it is due to winter residents
withdrawing pupils in order to return to other states. Decreasing winter farm
activity late in the school year may be a partial explanation in counties with
large numbers of migratory farm workers. Early vacations may be a factor.
It appears that the pupils withdrawing during the last month of school are
distributed fairly proportionately among the grade levels.

It does appear that the ninth month loss is of a different nature than
the loss during other months where such loss is not distributed proportionately
among the grade groups. This could prove a fruitful area for investigation
in those counties where the loss is substantial. Could a readjustment in the
school calendar reduce this loss and increase Minimum Foundation Program
funds allocated?

DROPOUTS

This report is not a dropout study. It is concerned with net membership
each month--beginning membership plus re-entries less withdrawals. Thus.new
students transferring into a school system during the year can off-set with-
drawals. These data do have limited significance for those interested in the
dropout problem.

In those counties where the elementary school membership increases or
holds reasonably stable, but junior and senior high school membership decreases
during the year, the most probable explanation must be dropouts at the high
school level. It is probable that families with younger children are more
mobile than families with older children. However, it is not a reasonable
assumption that most of the people moving into Florida have children in the
elementary grades whereas most of the people moving out of the state have
children at the secondary level.

COUNTY STUDY NEEDED

Each county should examine carefully the figures for its own schools.
At the local level, it is possible to prepare detailed tabulations on a
school-by-school basis. In this way it should be possible to identify
those schools and even grades in which further investigations needed.
Inasmuch as state foundation program funds are directly related to pupils in
school, such an effort at the local level could result in considerable
financial return to a county as well as good to the pupils who otherwise
might be lost to the school situation.

There are many situations wherein elementary membership increases
during the course of the school year but junior and senior high membership
declines steadily. If the schools of a county where this pattern prevails
are adequately staffed at the beginning of the school year, then the
elementary grades will be understaffed and the secondary grades will be
overstaffed as the year goes on, unless changes are made in the assignment
of teachers.


-4-









A number of counties experience peak membership at all levels early
in the school year. In such counties classroom space, desks, books, and
other facilities must be provided at the beginning of the school year and
become unused or unnecessary as the year moves along. Investigation may
reveal that the decline in membership is beyond the control of school
authorities, in which case nothing constructive can be done. On the other
hand, if the county can take steps to retain membership during the year,
more efficient use can be made of facilities, teachers, and supplies
already provided.


MISCELLANEOUS MEMBERSHIP DATA

Table 4 presents some miscellaneous membership data. Column I
answers the question of growth over the summer months from the close of
one year to the beginning of the next year. It shows the change in membership
from the close of the 1962-63 school year to the first month of the 1963-64
year. State-wide, there were 60,891 more pupils on the active roll at the
end of the first month of 1963-64 than were on the roll when school closed
in 1962-63.

Column II answers the question of growth from the first month of one
year to the first month of the succeeding year. From the first month
of the 1962-63 year to the first month of the 1963-64 year, there was an
increase of 48,937 pupils.

Column III gives the average daily membership for 1962-63 and Column
IV gives the average daily membership for 1963-64. Column V is the differ-
ence between Column III and Column IV, or the change in average daily
membership. Seven counties had a lower average daily membership in 1963-64
than in 1962-63.


PERCENT OF MEMBERSHIP C HNGE DURING 1963-64

Table 5 gives the percent of change in membership by grade group
between the end of the first month and the close of the 1963-64 school year
for each county. It is the percent of gain or loss in membership during the
year. Overall, there was a net decrease of .79 percent. Grades 1-6 showed
a gain of .82 percent as compared to a net loss of 1.53 percent in grades
7-9 and a net loss of 4.64 percent in grades 10-12.


ADULT AND VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS

Membership data for special adult and vocational schools with an
irregular membership pattern or with classes extending beyond the regular
school year are not included in any of the regular tables or summaries
in this report. Data for these schools also were omitted from previous
reports in this series. The excluded schools and membership data for
these schools are given below.

but is organized on a trimester plan with a graduating class prior to the
close of the ninth month; therefore, membership data for this school are not
included with data for regular schools in Leon County.
